Finished up my skid/cross member drawing and want some feedback. Plate wraps all the way from rail to rail, 3/16" thick, wraped/rolled edges, 10-15deg. bend in the center for strength. Internal braces are 3/16" as well. Using 1020 weighs about 17lbs which seems a little heavy to me considering I am going to have tranny skid and tcase skids of similar design in front/rear of this one. 3/16" would be as thin as I would want to go I would guess. What about the inner braces/go thinner/add more? I know the rolled edges will stiffen it up but will it be enough? tabs are for the tranny mounts and are drawn at 1/16" for anyone thats wondering. Dimensions aren't exact.
